True, but it's actually still and interesting finding if kept in context.

That is pretty interesting...

But as somebody who isn't a "Lean Mass Hyper-Responder on a Ketogenic Diet", I think Nabisco should just start putting statins into Oreos so we can all benefit.

A couple of Crestor Cream Double Stuf's and a glass of milk would go down pretty smooth.
